Been expanding my horizons in the single malts lately. Until recently, I have been drinking pretty much 100% Speyside/Highlands. Went 180* today at a local store that was having a deeeeeeeep sale on everything in the store. Picked up Laphroig Quarter Cask for $38.

Very different. Very smokey, but I seem to like that so far. Not quite as 'band-aidy' as the Bruichladdich Peat Project I had at Christmas (and have not found since).

I tried this once, and didn't much care for it, I wonder if I should give it one more try.

I just found out my wife's former co-worker's husband is managing the brewery. Seriously... I just found this out. Why my wife keeps things like this from me I don't know. Actually, I probably know...

All I can think of right now is that scene in Spaceballs . . . Lonestar! I am your cousin's, former college roomate's, best friend's former dog's owner's, neighbor. So, what does that make us? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

On a serious note, I was in Stowe for the weekend at the beginning of the month. I visited the Alchemist cannery and called 5 liquor stores and could not secure a single can of Heady. Luckily, a co-worker recently went up there to ski and came back with a whole case.

Heady goes out the same day it comes in at every store I know of that gets it. The cannery generally lasts a bit longer, but not through the weekend. It is crazy how popular that beer is.
